20 or ([email protected]); Rex ([email protected]) or Krupa (dadoson@ verizon.net). Several of the faculty, administration, and staff were in attendance enjoying themselves as well (including Glenn Tomlinson, Michele Minicozzi, and Michelle Martella). I especially enjoyed talking with Rev. Mark Specht 7W7 and his wonderful wife. I want to thank Carl Vairo for taking such a good photograph of our class at the reunion and Michele Martella for sending a copy of it in the mail to everyone that was in the photograph. I framed mine and have it on display in our home. I’d like to think that everyone else who received it has done the same. Lastly, I’m writing these class notes on 01/03/16. Our son Thomas flew in from Denver, Colo., for the holiday season. The whole family was together for a wonderful time throughout the holidays. I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and have a blessed and prosperous 2016!

Short notes, as today is the deadline and I am heading up to TORONTO for five comedy shows. Sadly, I missed the couples get-together as both my wife and I were battling a stomach bug. I did see some pics on Paul Chadem’s Facebook page. Paul was taking selfies with a lot of the wives. I saw Joe Santoro’s hilarious bride, Marty Jeffers, and Joe D. I think I spotted Brian Hassel in the background or Henry Ferri; it is actually hard to tell the two of them apart!! I did stop in to visit Hank last week. His new hip is still giving him a lot of trouble and a follow-up surgery may be down the road. I’m not sure if Mike Link or Jerry Sincavage made it, was hoping to see them as I missed the big 60 birthday bash. I think I saw Jay Comly in one of the pics, too. In other news, Paul Chadem talked me into getting a scroll saw. I learned that a good tool does not make a good craftsman. Lots of pics of Paul’s amazing projects and his blue NOVA abound on Facebook. On the way back from a show out near ALTOONA, I stopped in a great dinner with Craig Klahr. He gave me a tour of his town and the mini empire Lee Lewellen ’73 has built! Craig is looking good and feeling much better. He had gone on a recent cruise, and was to join us at the couples’ event, but also got the stomach bug. I saw a pic of Marty golfing and on LINKED IN came across Robert (you can call me BOB) Eplett. Haven’t heard from our president Jake Giaccio in a year or so, but think of him each time I see the FLYERS. It was ’74 when they won that first Stanley Cup. Do you remember where you were? Any of you sneak out to see the parade in Philly? No one responded to my questions last time about unique side jobs, or who we’ve worked with. So, sadly, this will be a short update. Let’s hear something from Bruce Larner or Radebach. Upstaters chime in…a little shop talk, car talk. I am more then glad to share any and all information you send me. Class Of ’80 Has Great Time At Barnabys During 35th Reunion Looking forward to a great year. One more child in college and I am done. We have had one kid in college for 16 straight years, two at once for 12. Retirement is not in the near future, but at least I can start to see the end of the tuition era. I still work at a school for kids with disabilities three days a week, and travel most weekends. Last fall, 17 shows in 11 states mostly out west. My daughter and son-in-law joined me in COLO. We ziplined down a mountain, did some 4-wheeling in an ELK refuge, then drove up to Yellowstone for some amazing sightseeing. I flew out of Montana; absolutely breathtaking. Hope œ
